What have you done to your P5 today?

gonna be going by the hardware store to pick up some washers to adjust my lights tonight

hopefully

Also, will prob. be giving my H7 low beam HID setup to my buddy.
Just found out he's getting a Mazda5
 
For that money you can just go HID and never worry about it. (lol2)

QFT! I found this out the hard and expensive way after burning two pairs of Sylvania Silverstars and one pair of Osram Silverstars. I could have bought an HID kit for the wife's MPV with the money I wasted. :(
 
So what is that contraption exactly? I open the hood and know "battery" and "timing belt"...that's it.

Got this in the mail today! I was supposed to wait till my birthday to open it. (even though I already found out what it was. lol) So my wife will be kinda pissed when she gets home...lol

That sucks hearing about your motor, man. It sounds like you had just a couple of good days with it then it went blamo. I hope the Mazda parts clerk doesn't know your first name by now with all the parts you've had to buy. Best of luck...

I didn't realize that you were in the same boat... do you have any words of wisdom for a fellow zoom-zoom-boomer?

My car sounds like ass. I can't wait to go turbo and put the corksport on. The OBX header, bosal catback pipe and mazdaspeed axleback sound bad. The axleback sounded great when it was alone but now it sounds like poop. Oh well.

I've been thinking about selling my turbo with the manifold and s-pipe attached. It isn't the stock one and has a T20 turbo on it. I also have pipes and the two flanges needed for a custom j-pipe. It comes with all the fittings for both oil and water and has no shaft play. I'll end up using it if no one is interested but I was hoping to go with a stock MSP setup instead. Just wanted to ask if anyone here is interested before I try a GI thread. Just PM me since I don't wanna discuss it here and go off topic.
